[Verse 1]
Do what you will, you can leave when you want
Leave if you want, but I bet that you won’t
I see your problem and it’s nothing to hide
Find any sailor with that look in his eye
Opening up, but there’s no one that really cares
[Pre-Chorus]
Mistook the words of a wise man who once said
“The birds of a feather die together”
[Chorus]
We could never afford it
We would dine and dash
I would always go last
No one gonna search me tonight
And I would give you the easy way out
[Post-Chorus]
It’s going great
[Verse 2]
I will not surrender
Something in my brain
I will not defend thеm
Lies you told today
Fighting for the future
Watch thе witches burn
I cannot defend them
[Break]
Permission to speak?
Permission to launch?
Permission to sit?
Permission to die?
[Verse 3]
I sit him down, I tie him up
I beat it out of him, alright
I beat his brains ’til they’re in the floor
Until his family mourns
I’d shoot him now if he was here
I’d slit his throat from ear to ear
But I have sworn a life of peace
How can I reconcile this beast?
[Chorus]
We could never afford it
So we dine and dash
I would always go last
No one gonna search me tonight
And I would give you the easy way out
We could never afford it
We would dine and dash
I would always go last
No one gonna search me tonight
And I would give you the easy way out
[Verse 4]
Say, say what you want, it’s fine
One at a time, we’re born
Nothing is off the table anymore
Life, life isn’t what they taught
Oh s*it, I’m out of ammo
One in a million, for sure
Say, I think I’m prejudiced
‘Cause I don’t like your face
Over time, I’ll accept it, though
I guess, just like an animal is that okay? I know
Say you want it, say you want it
[Outro]
I think that’s— I think that’s the minimum soft
And you go harder if you want but that’s the minimum soft
